The Bengals D was ATROCIOUS for the first 5 years of Marvin's tenure. That's why Zimmer arrived in the first place. You can point out how good the Ravens D was when he was there, but guess what.. any defense with like 3 HoFs on it is going to be great. Zimmer came and saved the defense, and then Guenther got trained by Zimmer and was handed a Zimmer-built defense already ready. I don't think Marvin had any effect in any of their success.
Either way, they attribute Vontaze coming to Cinci by way of Marvin Lewis and that made both coordinators defenses better... can't argue that one
